How is it that you did not konw this before hand? Did you not sit with your child in the playspace area as required? In the McDonals that I take my grandaughter to, there is NO TV and there are tables in that area (an enclosed room) that clearly states on the door before going in that all children must be accmpanyied by a parent.

There are 2 large screen TVs in the main dinning room that do have channels set to CNN/FOX news. I eat with my grandaughter in the playarea and therefore the TV's dont bother me. And as a matter of fact if they did not have the play area for her then I would be sitting in the main dinning room. IF something came up that she did not understand and questioned me about, then I would take the opportunity to explain to her what was happening and why.

Parents we have to be proactive in protecting our children. We as parents have to check to make sure that there are NO dangers, real or imagined out there that might harm our children. If that means getting up off our duffs to check to see what is on the TV EVERY TIME you go into that resturant (or any other place for that matter) then so be it...Its OUR responsiblity to make sure that our kids are safe, not McDonalds.

I raised my kids. I did not ask others to do it for me or to make sure that all was safe and tidy in thier worlds, that was my job as thier mother.
